龍舒增廣淨土文 7.2

7.2

Many who practice Chan do not believe in the Pure Land, considering it grasping at characteristics, and wishing to directly point to the human mind to see one's nature and attain Buddhahood. This doctrine is very fine, yet extremely difficult to reach, and those who instead suffer its pitfalls are many. Therefore, I now explain in detail the pitfalls of practicing Chan, citing historical events as evidence, and discuss them alongside various practitioners who do not know the essentials. Hence this fascicle is titled "Pointing Out Delusion and Returning to the Essentials".
